JBR on the rocks
February 7th, 2010
Following my other “on the rocks” shot, I thought I’ll start a photo series of landmarks on the rocks because this kind of contrast between rocks washed by the sea and modern skylines always seems to make for a good photograph. I’ve got a couple of other locations in mind for this and hopefuly over the next few months I’ll manage to add to this series.
For those that are not familiar with the Dubai skyline, this is the new Dubai, in particular the Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) in Dubai Marina. The Jumeirah Beach Residences is a fairly new development, comprising of a bunch of towers built along the beach close to Palm Jumeirah. I don’t find these towers particularly pretty to look at, but they do make for an interesting skyline.

Don, moss always looks good in HDR for some reason…

Beautiful shot! The lighting is superb, the reflections excellent and the contrast between the stark architecture, soft water and natural rock in the foreground is fabulous.

Dave thanks for your comment! It was a good clear day and that ND filter really helped.

Great HDR image, what tripod do you use Catalin?

Mel, I use a couple of different tripods and heads depending if I’m traveling or I’m somewhere close by. This shot was taken with a Manfrotto 055xprob tripod and a Manfrotto 808RC4 head.
